A scan from a local member should find the fault stored, Brakes still work efficiently,but no abs operation

ABS and TC lights on usually point to a sensor (or both) on the rear wheels. Before thinking about replacing them though, check the rear tyre pressures are equal as this can upset the computer if they're not.

;)Hi
Is definately the rear wheel sensors.
Had the same prob myself.
Paid for computer diagnostic, but found no fault :-/
Took off rear wheels, removed sensors. Cleaned with a bit of WD40, hey presto. Changed the rear pads too, but only cos they were nearly gone. :'(

::)PS dont forget to spin the hub and spray some WD into the hole where the sensors fit, to sort of clean the teeth.

Couldnt have done it without the help of those on this site, so best of luck. :D
